Until I was about 10, I was convinced that people put contact lenses into the back of their eyes.... I was stubborn and wouldn't listen to anything people told me... but now I wear contacts.. so obviously I know that they don't go in the back now!
A childhood belief about eyes
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that contact lenses were made out of fish scales— ddm
- I used to think that when people were taking their contacts out that they were taking their eyeball out :) — Jen
- My mom always told me she had eyes in the back of her head. — Ellana
- I used to believe that the people on tv were really in the tv and if you opened the back they would be there!— Kathleen
- I used to think that "cross-eyed" meant that people had X's for eyes, like dead people in cartoons.— Tim
- Before I knew about death, I used to think people turned back into babies again after they got old. Anon
